In Fantasy Baseball (Yahoo) what is the difference between head to head and Rotisserie Scoring type?

Question

Scoring Type

Rotisserie
Head-to-Head

so Rotisserie would be could for a competive league

Answer 1

In a head to head league you play against a different team each week. For each category that you best the other team in you get a point. If you have ten categories you have a possibility of getting from 0 to 10 points. If you win a week 7 to 3, your record would be recorded as 7 wins, 3 losses.
In a rotisserie league, the top earner in a category earns top points, 10 in a 10 team league, and the bottom team gets 1 point. These totals change daily during the season. Because the totals change from minute to minute, if you watch StatTracker, the category totals rotate, therfore the name rotisserie.

Answer 2

Both are competitive.

"There are two types of fantasy league formats, head to head or rotisserie. The head to head puts you against another team in your league for one week. You earn 'points' based on the categories. For example there will be categories such as goals, powerplay points, goalie wins, etc. If you get more goals than your opponent that week you win that point, same with the other categories. At the end of the week you tally your 'points', if there were 10 categories you could win ten points. The following monday you begin all over against a new team but the stats from the previous week DON'T COUNT for anything. In ROTISSERIE you gain throughout the season, every goal, every powerplay point, every penalty minute counts, there are usually about ten categories. Depending on your totals for each category you can earn from 1 to 12 points for each (assuming there are 12 players in your league). These 'scores' change every day depending on the previous nights stats. In theory if you were leading in all ten categories you'd have 120 points (12 teams times 10 categories) but this rarely occurs. If you were 3rd in goals you'd get ten points, 10th in wins, you'd get three points (as you see, points are in reverse order of placing). If in our league we only get 8 teams then the highest possible score on any given day would be 80, lowest score would be 8 (last in every category). Hope this helps."

This is a hockey based post that I got when I asked the same question, but it's the same way for baseball. Head-to-head you compete against one person to win the most categories that week, rotisserie it's against everyone for the whole year.

Answer 3

Roto scores cumulative stats for a season as compared to other teams to determine your position in the league - it is a running total of all of your players numbers. There will be multiple stats to accumulate score. If all of the players on your team hit more HR's than all of the players on everyone else's team you would be in first place in that category. Score in a category is determined by the number of people in the league - if there are 12 teams and your team has 20 HR's and the next closest team has 18HR's your team is awarded 12 points as long as you have more HR's. Second place is awarded 11 points, 3rd 10 on down to last place 1 point. Positions may change almost daily. Your score is determined the same way by adding up your teams standing in each of the stat categories. Std is 5x5, 5 hitting categories and 5 pitching categories - giving you a total possible of 120 points if you were to be in first place in all categories. The one with the highest score at the end of the season wins.

head 2 head (h2h) is scored by Wins and Losses and your place in the league standings is just like baseball Wins-Losses-Ties. In h2h you play against 1 other team every week and comparing your teams stats against only that team's stats - so if your team has 8 HR's and the team you are playing has 7 that will be 1 Win for you, even though other teams in the league may have 15HR's, only your score compared to the team you are playing counts. In h2h you will have multiple stat categories that you are playing depending on league settings they could be 7 hitting and 7 pitching or more (I play one league that is 32 categories), your games or stats against that one player are for games played Monday through Sunday and each Monday you will play a different team. At the end of games on Sunday your team will have a record for the week of the number of stat categories you Won, Lost or Tied. So in your league your score for week one would look something like 9-3-1 and your position in the league is determined by the best record.

Both have different settings and strategies. H2H is typically where advanced players use highly customized settings for stats.

Answer 4

head to head you play agaist one other team, in a rotisserie leauge you play agaist every team in your leauge every week and get points based on who your team did compared to everyone elses (head to head is one team against your team every week but you play everyone)
